Home care for seniors — keep your chair, your keys, and your routine.
At Own Chair Home Care, we understand the challenges of balancing a busy life with caring for aging parents. Our goal is to provide reliable, non-medical home support that respects the dignity and independence of your loved ones, allowing them to thrive in their own homes in the Lower Mainland / Fraser Valley.
Our compassionate senior care services
We offer a range of specialized, non-medical home support services tailored to meet the unique needs of seniors and their families. Our approach focuses on understanding and responding to what you require, providing effective and practical solutions with a minimum 3-hour visit to ensure consistent, unhurried care. We do not require long-term contracts, providing flexibility and peace of mind.
Support can include companionship, meals, light housekeeping, errands, medication reminders from a pharmacy dosette, and personal care from a trained caregiver. It can also mean extra hours after a hospital stay, or respite so a family member can step back for a while. We do not provide nursing. If clinical care is needed, we work around that visit, not instead of it.
Every arrangement starts with a conversation. We learn the routine already in the house, match a familiar caregiver whenever we can, and write the plan down so the visit is clear. Three hours is the minimum, so care is never a rushed stop at the door. There is time to sit, notice what has changed, and leave the day a little easier.
You are not locked into a long contract. Start with the hours you need now. Add more after a discharge, or ease back when family is home again. The standard stays the same: unhurried visits, a caregiver your loved one knows, and support that helps them stay home, safely, on their own terms.
Post-hospital "first two weeks home" packages
We provide fast-response transitional care after hospital discharge, serving Surrey Memorial, Peace Arch, Burnaby, and Delta Hospitals. Our packages include initial settling-in, medication reminders, meal preparation, mobility support, and family updates to bridge the critical gap before public support begins.
Reliable non-medical home support
Our caregivers assist with daily living activities, ensuring seniors maintain their independence and routine. This includes help with personal care, light housekeeping, errands, and transportation, allowing them to stay in their cherished home environment.
Flexible evening and weekend care
We fill the gap public home care often leaves behind, offering essential support during evenings and weekends. This ensures continuous, consistent care when families need it most, preventing isolation and ensuring safety during non-traditional hours.
Why OwnChairHomeCare is different
We pride ourselves on an approach that puts dignity and independence first, ensuring seniors stay in their own homes, in their own chairs, on their own terms. We don't just provide care; we build trust and lasting relationships. Most agencies measure a visit by the tasks completed. We measure it by whether your loved one still feels at home. The same chair. The same keys. The same morning. Care should fit that life, not replace it. That is why we match each client with one or two primary caregivers whenever we can, and why visits are a minimum of three hours. There is time to sit, notice what has changed, and leave the day a little easier. Families are not left wondering who will walk through the door. We are locally owned, not a national franchise. There is no long-term contract. You start with the hours you need now, and adjust when a hospital stay, a fall, or a quieter stretch changes the picture. What stays the same is the standard: unhurried care, a familiar face, and support that helps your loved one remain in charge of their own home.
The "Own Chair" philosophy
Unlike other services that might disrupt routines, we focus on preserving your loved one's existing home life, independence, and dignity. Our care is designed to help them stay exactly where they are most comfortable and in control.
That starts with the small things. The same chair by the window. The same cup of tea. The same walk, the same meal, the same quiet afternoon. We do not arrive to take over the house. We arrive to support the life already there, so your loved one can keep their keys, their habits, and their say in the day.
Visits are unhurried, with a familiar caregiver whenever we can, so care feels like a steady presence rather than a revolving door. The goal is simple: help them stay home, safely, on their own terms.
Specialized post-hospital care
We specialize in rapid-response 14-day transition blocks for seniors discharged from local hospitals, including Surrey Memorial, Peace Arch, Delta, and Burnaby. This critical support bridges the gap before other services can commence, offering peace of mind during a vulnerable time.
The first two weeks at home are when families feel it most. The hospital is done, public home support may be thin or still starting, and someone has to cover meals, bathing, mobility, and the quiet hours when no one else can be there. We step in with a named caregiver, a written plan, and a finite two-week block, so you are not guessing day to day.
It is non-medical support around the discharge plan already in place: companionship, meals, light housekeeping, medication reminders from a pharmacy dosette, and personal care from a trained caregiver. We do not replace nursing. If wound care or other clinical needs are required, we work around that visit, not instead of it.
Most families start with heavier support in the first few days, then taper. At the end of the two weeks, we sit down with you and decide what ongoing hours, if any, still make sense. The goal is a safe landing at home, not an open-ended commitment made in a panic.
Consistent, familiar caregivers
We believe in building genuine trust and friendship. Unlike agencies that rotate staff, we carefully match clients with 1-2 primary caregivers who stay with them long-term, fostering deep familiarity and a comforting presence. This consistency means unhurried, personalized care for your loved one.
Your parent should not have to reintroduce themselves every week. They should know who is coming, and that person should know the chair by the window, the tea they like, and the way they prefer to start the morning. We match each client with one or two primary caregivers and keep that match whenever we can, so care feels familiar rather than like a revolving door.
When a backup is needed, they are briefed from the care plan, not sent in cold. Families get the same face, the same standard, and the relief of not wondering who will walk through the door.
